🌼 SPRING CLEAN – THIS SATURDAY 🌼
Could you spare a couple of hours this Saturday, 30th May, to help keep our village church looking its best? We’d love your support — and we’ll thank you with a free buffet lunch afterwards!

🕙 10am–12pm
Whether you prefer indoor or outdoor jobs, there’s something for everyone. Indoors we’ll be dusting, polishing and hoovering; outside we’ll be strimming, clearing paths, picking up sticks and tidying the grounds.

🔧 Tools welcome
If you have power tools or gardening kit, please bring them along — we’ll have some available too.

🥗 Stay for lunch
We’ll finish with a delicious light buffet and drinks as a thank‑you for your help.

It’s always a lovely morning of teamwork and community spirit. Hope to see you there 🙏
